This authoritative reference explores the complex material/tissue interfacial phenomena using dental and craniofacial reconstructions as a model system. It integrates clinical perspectives and basic science to address the mechanical and chemical challenges inherent in the caustic oral environment. The text provides a deep analysis of reactions at atomic and molecular scales that initiate the failure of restorative materials. This comprehensive guide is essential for understanding how synthetic materials interact with biological tissues to restore form and function.
